Thank you, fellow X-markers, for your input and advice.

I've been working on a preliminary design but due to the limited Internet available whist I'm deployed it's a bit slow going. It is, however, a nice project to chip away at when the net is up.

Please do continue the discussion. Even if I'm not replying to the thread right away it's an excellent topic for the forum.

As to tartan design itself, what is rule of thumb to produce a sett that is about 6 1/2 to 7 inches? Is this too small? Should I scale it up?

Thank you, friends.
